nah dude dont want no rash on my good jdm rims :D

driving v8 supercar aound sandown in a few weeks, going to flog the shit out of them. 6 laps (and yes i get to drive)

Lol you stooge. You do realize it's just an ss stripped out with a cage and bucket seats. Not a real v8 supercar. Your GTR will feel quicker

does it have 400fwrwkws like my cousins na gemmy? :P

the v8 supercar i drove had slicks, cage, full dash install, all the usual safety shit and tons of power

it certainly wasnt a 600+hp supercar, but it wasnt a 200hp one either

youll enjoy it, they are pretty sweet and go alright

Yeah i was a bit underwhelmed when i did that drive day too. It had wide slicks so it actually cornered reasonably well though, wasn't expecting that!

lol i know its not a real v8 supercar, still will be flogging the shit out of it and not worrying about anything it was a christmas gift :)

So what was the issue?

Well my mechanic tried to spin both wheels. The left one spun. The right didn't.

Turns out the handbrake was on BUT wasn't functioning on the left side so he got confused.

Soooo.... Haunted Hills today was awesome, despite my ridiculously stretched tyres and absurd camber I managed to be only .2 of a second slower than our El presidente Ash ;) hahahaha

nice! where the pics brooo?

haha s'all good.

Give me some pointers on low-ballin. How much higher is the stated price range compared to the absolute minimum someone will accept it for :P

haha yeh depends on the house, location and most of all the sellers motivation. If you see somethign you like link me i may have a contact within the agency selling it to get you a no bs idea on where its at.

I found that stated price ranges were usually much lower than the price the people were after - to draw people in

yeh that happens out east and inner west a fair bit its bs its all private sale where i am thankfully - much easier for buyer /seller. You can grab a bargain at auction though particurarly when the market is favouring buyers like now.

pretty pro mechanic..

those drive days are all different

i remember a thread on here about 2 years ago where someone went on one and he was only allowed to use 3rd and 4th, even in corners, and was not allowed to heal-toe...

so after like 3 laps he came into a corner hot and heel-toe'd it and got kicked out on the spot lol

yeh its fun but still not quick enough have done at calder and they only let you use 3rd and 4th gear the brakes are good though and you will want more laps

Lol f**k I wanna take my car there! Seems like he knows his shit :ninja:

You should try my old mechanic

Things they f**ked up:

- Passing a roadworthy when I had f*cked wheel bearings (wheel nearly fell off), bald tyres and crazy positive camber due to bent strut

- Putting BBQ gas in my mate's MR2. Compressor lasted 15 hours before it broke.

- Telling me that my engine number didn't match what was on my rego

- Setting my mate's idle so low that it stalled every time he stopped at the lights (car was running fine before he got it serviced)

- Scratched my Supra's paintwork and denied it

- Didn't tighten my wheel nuts. I was able to remove them with my fingers alone.

And somehow they still have a good name and charge through the roof. My new mech is much better :)

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
